Answer:

The 3 types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardiac: Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striated, and are under involuntary control.

Smooth: Smooth muscle (so-named because the cells do not have striations) is present in the walls of hollow organs like the urinary bladder, uterus, stomach, intestines, and in the walls of passageways, such as the arteries and veins of the circulatory system, and the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive

Skeletal: Skeletal muscle is found between bones, and uses tendons to connect the epimysium to the periosteum, or outer covering, of bone.
